Civil Service Over fin China.

In China corpulence is considered to be one of the most important qualifications for the holding of any public office It is re- garded as physical virtue, which imparts dignity to the appearance, weight to the judgment, and solidity to the mind In China the thin man is always moody and disappointed; he sees himself easily out stripped in the race of life by his stoutsr contemporaries, and, enraged at the unjust distribution of natures gifts, he retires usually into obscurity and shuns the gaze of his fellow-citizens Banting, except as a punishment for great criminals, is unknown in China The most popular gods in the Chinese Pantheon are those remarkable for their obesity.-Pan Mall Gazette.

While about to take my bath tn Olsu at the hotel, and when just touching the tips of my toes to the boiling hot water pre- pared for me, the whole family-father, mother and three edaughters-came to wish me a pleasant bath.

journing before vote is taken the
Governor will be more than justified
in issuing his proclamation to call
another extra session before the
members leave the capital. On yes
terday evening Speaker Rowan de-
clared the House had adjourned and
he did so again this evening with
ont regard to the calls for division
on the question of adjournment.
I heard several members complain
of his conduct and if he does not
make some explanation of his con-
duet when he takes the chair tomor-
row morning he is likely to be call
ed to an account. l heard that To-
Ter asked him whether they had
not missed .heir way and gone 10
the Texas capital" Another oc-
curance of this sort is likely TO break
the camel's back. The belief is that
the adjournment was part ofascheIne
to delay legislation.

On Wednesday, Camdenite oil
the House moved that n ballot for

might decide whether Camden has
gained any votes. Ii there has been
a gain, it is from the Republicans.
None of the Twelve will vote for him.
A Charleston telegram to the Bal

SAYS that the above resolution
was defeated on yesterday. This
would indicate that corporation
money has not been able rs yet to
corrupt a sufficient number of Re-

said last December, that Camden

II consider it, as an evidence of
that deep degeneracy which precedes
the downfall ola republic, when those
elevated to power forget the promises
on which they were elevated; the
certain effect of which is to make an
impression on the public mind that
all is juggling and trickery in poll
tics, and to create an indifference to
political struggles highly favorable
to the growth of despotic power. >

: AS we predicted would be the
case, the railroads are making n des-
perate effort to prevent the passage
Of law giving to local traffic within
this State the same protection which
Congress gives to Inter-S State Com
MERGE. The ablest talent money can
procure is endeavoring to mislead
our Legislature and induce it to sac
rifice the welfare of the people, and
thereby enable railroad managers to
accumulate vast private fortunes.
These managers, by illegal practic-
es, rob the people and then use the
money to prevent legislation to give
the public protection. The citizens
of this State should make haste to
write to their representatives at
Charleston and urge the passage of
the law applying the provisions of
the Inter State Commerce bill to our
local traffic. The same principles
should be applied to shipments from
Harper's Ferry to Wheeling that are
applied to shipments from Baltimore

WEST VIRGINIA CERTIFICATES.

The InteHiqeacer asserts that
Senator Gettingcr has offered Il res
olution to settle our debt to Virgin
ia "by the payment of SS,0OO,O00.
The Wheeling dailics SO frequently
publish rs true that which they
know to be false, the DEMOCRAT does
not place any confidence in the
above assertion. We will find out
the truth and give our readers the
exact facts in the next Issue of this
paper. Those who have read the
pamphlets printed by Mr.. Mason,
while he was counsel in this matter,
have sufficient information to form
an intelligent judgment as TO what
action should be taken hy this State.
Mr.. Mason demonstrated that there
never has been any attempt 10 as
certain the Indebtedness OF " est
Virginia, and he also demonstrated
that she did not owe rs much as
$S,000,000. L. is presumed Mr..
Gettinger read Mr.. Mason's pam
phlets, and it may safely be assumed
that he has not offered the PROPOSE
ton attributed to him by the INTEL
Hgencer. We have this 20 sav. how
ever: Virginia for the Crst time is
now acting intelligently ia regard to
her debt. There is every indication
that the movement in Richmond will
result in a final settlement. When
ever such settlement is reached, then
Virginia must make an adjustment
with West Virginia. She holds the
bonds as trustee and cannot dispose
of the matter finally until she settles
with this State. 1t will inevitably
result, that sooner or later there will
be a judgment of the United States
Supreme Court against West Vir-
ginia for the amount which we owe
under the Wheeling Ordinance,
viz:-West Virginia is to be charged
with what she received and credited
with what she paid. The difficulty
in Virginia has been, that her debt
legislation was framed by persons
who were as ignorant as mules
about the facts. AS matter Of
course the result was infinite confu-
sion and incafculable damage to
that State. If Virginia had made
thorough investigation preliminary
to any legislation there would have
been no trouble and no embarrass-
ment. 1t seems there was no.
man in Virginia who combined
intelligence. courage and opportu
nifty to reach the public ear, will
ling to take the lead in this matter
and tell her people The honest
truth. Virginia has suffered in con-
sequence. If she had had even one
such man. he would have been worth
his weight in gold to her tax payers.
1t is the part of wisdom for West
Virginia to profit by the experience
of Virginia. We presume she will
not do so. The character of man
needed for this occasion is rare
commodity in these days of truck
ling politicians who seek success by
wandering TO the ignorant predjndi-
ces which happen to be current on
the streets. Our Legislature should

Washington. lie denied there has
been any bribery. He said his
Washington agent receives 100000
year and is too honest man to do
wrong act, and whenever he draws
on the company for money it is paid
without hesitation. 1t is necessary
to engage many persons to explain
matters to Congressman and it is
not to be expected that men will
work for nothing. 1t is sometimes
necessary to get constituent of a
Congressman to make the eyplana-
ton to him, and this constituent
must be paid.
The Washington correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun states that this
is the substance of Huntington S tes-
timony on this interesting point.
Governor Pattison should ask
Huntington, How much money he
contributed to establish the New
York Starr 1t is the most insidi-
Gus railroad organ we know of. On
other subjects it is sound Demo
cratic paper
Let the people consider whether
it is not time to take into their EN-.
ploy men who will look after and
'explain matters" in behalf of the
public interest. This is the very
thing railroad managers are trying
to prevent. They are clamorous
that the State should not incur any
expense. The 100000 Huntington
pays out at Washington comes out
of the pockets of the people. A judi
cious expenditure of $4,000 would
enable the people to retain this
$400,000 in their pockets. II moth
ing else were said Huntingtons ties
timony is conclusive that our Lcgis
lature should pass the law now
pending. 1t would be very interest
ing to ascertain how much Hunting
ton pays out to "explain matters" tt
members Of the Legislature. Col
Jno. A. Robinson, of Mineral, has
long been in the employment of the
B. d 0. He is always present at the
Legislature whenever any measure
is on foot to give the people of this
State some protection against the
secret and Unlawful practices Of the
officials of his corporation. Does
not Robinson's salary come out OF
the pockets Of the people of West
Virginia? Railroad companies take
vast sums from the unorganized
masses and use the money to hire 8
lobby; this lobby cries out: "Tht
Legislature must economist; and
the expenditure of $4,000 or $40,
